Two More Star Wars Movies Coming? Source: Fox411 May 9, 2007
Fox411's Roger Friedman talked to George Lucas at the all-star Time magazine dinner and got some interesting sound bites from the Indiana Jones 4 executive producer.
Lucas says that Sean Connery still hasn't signed on, but his character, Indy's dad, is in the script. Other than that, his lips are sealed.
Lucas said that he has seen all the summer movies since his company, Industrial Light & Magic, does most of the special effects. The only one they didn't work on was Spider-Man 3. What did he think of it?
"It's silly. It's a silly movie," he said. "There just isn't much there. Once you take it all apart, there's not much story, is there? People thought 'Star Wars' was silly, too," he added, with a wink. "But it wasn't."
While Lucas is readying the new "Clone Wars" animated series, he told Friedman that he will make two more live-action films based in the "Star Wars" universe as well.
"But they won't have members of the Skywalker family as characters," he said. "They will be other people of that milieu."
The two extra films will also be made for TV and probably be an hour long each. But, like "Clone Wars," Lucas doesn't know where on TV they will land.
I have to call George out on the Spider-Man 3 comment, saying there's no story is the most moronic thing I've ever heard. Is it as good as Spider-Man 2? Hell no, but Spider-Man 2 is the greatest comic book movie ever made. The emphasis was on the relationship between Harry, Mary Jane, and Peter, not the villains (if you want that then go watch Joel Schumacher's Batman films, before Begins those movies were pretty much terrible). Furthermore, the man that insisted Jar Jar needed to be in the new trilogy calling anything silly is just hard for me to swallow.
That being said, I'm excited that we're getting two more films. Should be pretty cool.

"The two extra films will also be made for TV and probably be an hour long each." Yes,but they will not be movies that will be in theaters,just on TV and not that long,it's kind of a let down But who knows,they might be good.

How trustworthy are these statements about new films? Is this just a cruel ploy to torture us fans? Perhaps G.L. is rethinking the live action TV shows, to become TV movies. I suppose only time will tell.

Yea, you should know how many times I have actually heard that. I have heard at least 10+ rumors saying that a SW Show would air, and they still havent happened, so...

Lucas isn't making any other films, especially not a 7, 8, or 9. As for the live action television series, it's going to happen, and there are going to be more than two episodes. As for the made-for-tv movies, I some how doubt it will happen, but if it did, like Lucas said, it would be outside the Skywalker frame. For on the live action tv series, it has Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader in it, as well as Obi Wan and Boba Fett. He probably just wants to make something outside the cinema universe and see how well it turns out.

Okay, here's the link to the original interview from Fox411: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,270874,00.html For some reason the link above, isn't working correctly. Copy and paste to get it working right. The reason I say that Mr. Lucas might have re-thought the live action TV show is because he mentioned the animated series, and the TV movies, but not the 100 episodes that we've heard about thus far (see this thread): forcefx.proboards43.com/index.cgi?board=tv&action=display&thread=1145312055I'm wondering if this is a "from a certain point of view" type of thing. Perhaps George Lucas is only personally directing 2 of them, and just loosely supervising the remaining 98 episodes for the TV series, which isn't scheduled 'till 2009. If it isn't a part of the TV series, then 2 episodes of the Knights of the Old Republic era movies would be certainly sweet!

Thank you Aeon, I certainly did as well, although I still believe Spider-Man 2 is the greatest comic book movie ever made. As for what's going to happen with the show and these made for tv movies, I just post the facts people, or rather what George spouts out as fact. Don't shoot the messenger. I have to say though, as much teasing as he does about the tv series (and all the posters at every convention that have Boba's helmet on them), I think it'd be awful weird for it to never happen.

I don't know what goes on in Lucas' head i really don't. He might be just jealous that Spiderman 3 cost more to make and is more technologically advanced than ROTS. I have said it before and I will say it again, all he cares about is money, and he will stop and nothing to get it.
